E-tolls may be dead, but Gauteng drivers will still pay for freeway - Godongwana

[bwana]

When are the rest of the provinces going to be paying for the roads they use?

We'll only cross that bridge when they've built one (over all the potholes)

 

[Harold_Crick]

So Gauteng'ers are finally going to be paying for the road they use?

I'm ok with that.

We already pay for the roads we use via the fuel levy...

"We" being everyone who puts petrol fuel in their tank? I get that.

Why do you to burden poor okes from other provinces. As it is, they struggle.

Funny thing.... Gautengers are quickly becoming paupers too. The economy is buckling in the province under the weight of the ANC, loadshedding and other failures. Good luck to government if they think they are going to get this money from this province alone.

In CPT we pay for our roads and don't bitch about it

Rest of the country benefits from Gauteng's economic output, no?

Just as much as the people of Gauteng, and you have a nice road to drive on. At the end of the day I reckon you benefit more, so you shouldn't really mind paying for it.

Nice road?

 

[LCBXX]

Those who hailed the scrapping of eTolls as a victory, are going to realise that the ANC, once again, took South African road-users for p0este.

Nice road?

Gauteng freeways are decent. Did I miss something ?

 

[Mekon]

We already pay for it through the fuel levy...Perhaps consider not stealing and misappropriating funds and instead using it for its intended purpose?

cANCer sh1tstains use money for its intended purpose? Don't be dog, that's not the way these pathetic lifeforms work.

The part where they are decent, I mean they are serviceable, but you do tend to sit a long time on them, cause muppets think an extra lane sorts out traffic flow.

Yeah, that is silly to add extra lane without thinking of any other things. Talking about muppets, johanneburg must take the cake for the worst driver muppets. There is no courtesy, discipline, etiquette, patience at all. It is like people are printing their own license at home and driving.

Ooooh no Natal has the worst drivers hence why the N2/N3 always has accidents.

You clearly have not experienced the very low quality R21 (especially the Thembisa side) or the 2 big sinkholes that have not been repaired yet after over 10 months (with the permanent lane reductions causing pretty bad congestion at times) and the poor drainage (looking at the N1S just before Buccleuch, opposite the e-toll gantry on N1N).
